Toggle Scratch Window? #17

Closed justinmoon closed 9 years ago

justinmoon commented 9 years ago

Is it possible to toggle the scratch window?

What I mean by this is:

I'm typing away and I want to open the scratch window but not have my cursor move to the scratch window. I look at the scratch window, a few moments pass, then I want to close it without moving my cursor to the window and hitting :q.

Is there a way I can achieve this?

Thanks

3f969e6ce68ca37c3ea66d7e4dcac1f09a2232dc adds a :ScratchPreview command which should do what you want :). Let me know if you had something else in mind.

I think making :Scratch close the scratch buffer when called from the scratch buffer would be ideal behavior. I'll submit a PR if you're interested.

:ScratchPreview is useful if you want to reference the scratch while making changes in other buffers but I find myself rarely doing this; I mostly want to add to or view the scratch. I prefer keeping this plugin to a single toggle mapping for simplicity.
